Webcast of a live CABG procedure
Cardica Inc. has announced that it will webcast a live off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. Doctors will perform the beating heart procedure using Cardica’s C-Port(R) xA and C-Port(R) Flex A Distal Anastomosis Systems, which are designed to allow surgeons to automate the attachment of blood vessel grafts, replacing the process of hand-sewing with sutures.
The procedure and live webcast will take place on January 17, 2008 at 3pm EST. The recorded event will be available to watch following the procedure on ORlive.com.
